The Wonder Stuff perform their 40th-anniversary UK tour with special guests Inspiral Carpets at the O2 Academy Bournemouth.
The Wonder Stuff are playing the O2 Academy Bournemouth on Friday 9 October, with Inspiral Carpets as special guests. It's part of a 16-date UK tour marking the band's 40th anniversary.
The Wonder Stuff formed in the Birmingham/Black Country area in 1986 and signed to Polydor in 1987. They put out four Top 20 albums between 1988 and 1994 — The Eight Legged Groove Machine, HUP, Never Loved Elvis, and Construction For The Modern Idiot — and thirteen Top 40 singles, with the number one 'Dizzy' recorded with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer. They split in 1994, reformed in 2000, and have released five studio albums since then, the most recent being Better Than Being Lucky in 2016.
Inspiral Carpets were a big part of the late-'80s and early-'90s Madchester scene, known for Indie Chart-topping singles like 'Find Out Why' and 'Move', and the breakthrough hit 'This Is How It Feels'.
